The Kitchen Table

Yet another Facebook question...,

12 years ago

Friended a person. Yet I don't know if that person has accepted my request or not because that person doesn't show up in my friends list nor I in theirs...BUT on my wall I see where this person is now friends with X and Y(and that's happened a couple of times).

Can anyone explain this to me...??

Be patient, it sometimes takes awhile for the computers to update all the stuff.

Doesn't seem fair that they can read your wall without accepting your friend request, which I think is how it works.

And you'll notice that you can't see a list of people who you've extended a friend request to.

unfortunately no Mike it could be enemies or those frienimies that once were friends and are no longer, often times they would do things like that simply because they can and they know it would be upsetting. Those people likely would not honor a request to please not do that. Or people that just get off on being A-holes they seem to be abundant. Also some people have been in groups or clubs etc and are no longer part of them, pictures of groups end up and not everyone in the group pic said it was ok to plaster their image every where. In fact I have been in pictures as a by stander and found my pic, had no idea it was there was never asked to be in a picture or to have it posted. Used to they had to ask permission to use your pictures and get signed release forms. Not to mention just being the polite thing to do. the thing about facebook is the opt out feature not opt in which makes if a bit different ballgame.

Tried that, but it loses all the characters, thread breaks and pictures. I tried to "Print Screen". That didn't work either.

Go to Settings, then Name It gives you the option to change it. In the last name field, just change it to Jones. I'm not sure I'm understanding about the (Ann Smith) in parentheses...do you want that to actually show? If so, I'm not sure how to get it to do that, other than add that to the last name field. Maybe someone else will know.

I resisted the Timeline until I was forced to switch. i got used to it and know I think it's fine. In fact, the old pages look out of style to me. It's fun to choose your background picture, although keep in mind that there is no way to make it private, so my advice is to keep it not too personal. I always thought I would sit and read the newspaper and drink coffee every morning when I retired. Now I drink coffee and check different sites on my laptop. Oh well, if I've only learned one thing in life it's that nothing stays the same forever. Except love. Love never changes.

Zeetera, you're right, there is no list, but you can tell your friend status by going to their profile:

~ If you see Add As Friend, then you don't have a friend request pending.

~ If you see Awaiting Friend Confirmation, you'll know that you've sent a request that hasn't yet been confirmed.

~ If you see a Remove Friend link, you'll know you've both confirmed your friendship.

Yea but you have to remember all who you extended the invitation to. It used to have a list but they took it away (at least I think I remember one).

Ah, I see. I don't friend a lot, and I can remember them easily. If you were to friend a lot of people that you can't remember, I guess that would be a problem.
